Big Boy Connor!

We had quite a weekend! Connor is growing so fast and is so amazing. We are so blessed to be his parents!

Over the past couple weeks Connor has started table foods. He has had bananas, grapes (very sour, very funny face), pasta (loved it just like his mama), chicken, and tonight he had broccoli! He has liked everything except for the grapes, although I keep having him try them, just in case!

Here he is loving his bananas.

Showing off those top two teeth!

We also got his big boy carseat this weekend! He was getting too heavy and too long to be in the pumpkin seat anymore. I was always afraid I would chop off his little baby foot when I walked through a doorway becuase they stuck out past the end of his seat! He rode in his big boy carseat for the first time today and absolutely LOVED it! He looked out the window the whole time! I kept pointing out things that he was seeing, but I said "cornfield" more often than not...

He has also been sitting up a lot... especially in his crib. Sunday morning, Mark walked into the bedroom with him and said, "We have a problem". Connor had sat up in his crib, reached out through the bars to the laundry basket, grabbed the mesh sock bag, and brought it back into the crib for a fun new toy. It is a mesh bag, so it was alright, but not the safest toy, I am sure. I have moved the laundry bag over a good ways, but it is funny to see him in the monitor still try to grab for it and not be able to reach it.

We also got him a new toy. He has a lot of baby toys (rattles and teethers) so we wanted to get him a big boy toy that is more interactive and fun! A couple of our friends have this ball toy that has a little motor and blows the balls up in the air and then back down again. All the kids we have seen play with it love it, so we thought Connor would, too. We were terribly wrong!! He HATES it!!! I have never heard him scream so loud and hold on to me so tight since the day he was born. I feel comfortable saying he screamed louder when we turned on this stupid toy than the day he was born. Yeah... it's that bad. Although, when he's not screaming he is making the CUTEST sad frowny face I have ever seen in my life.

He also got to go swimming twice in one day this weekend! Mark and I spend most of Saturday at my mom's, so Daddy got to go swimming with Connor! They were both excited! Connor loves his boat.
